Music in c++ ?
 

Hi,

I have tried looking for information on music in c++ for linux but have only came across stuff for windows :-(. I am wondering is there anything like the function play like what is in basic so you can do play "g,c,g,e,f" or something along these lines?

Thankyou

Re: Music in c++ ?
 

i'm not quite sure what you are trying to do but you could use sdl, by loading in sound files(ie notes) and playing them back.

I think that playing MIDI files is what I would do (and have a function to easily choose which one to play). MIDI files are very small, especially if there is only one note being played.

Try looking at SDL_Mixer stuff.

maybe take a look at : http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
it has all sound stuff ( like wave generating and filtering with fft ) in c++ .

btw. it's a softsynth...

CFugue MusicNote Programming Library for C/C++
 

You can try libraries such as RTMidi or JDKMidi - which are platform compatible midi libraries. They will enable you to program in MIDI.

However, if you are looking for a way to program Music Notes directly in C++, then you might find CFugue suiting your purposes. In Beta stages, this is one of the only available C++ highlevel music programming libraries for Midi today.
